USA Number One Food Name Is Burgers

The name "hamburger" comes from Hamburg, a city in Germany. In Germany snacks are often appointed after the place of origin, like the Frankfurter, the Berliner, or Bratwurst. In Hamburg it was common to put a piece of roast pork into a roll & serve it ardent. German immigrants then took this “Hamburger,” to the United States where it was adjusted into it’s modern form. There are several US cities and restaurants that lay claim to being the home of the hamburger and there have even been various laws passed to ratify those claims (now that’s very American). Here are some notable ones.

Seymour, Wisconsin. Charlie Nagreen claimed to have served the world's first hamburger at the Seymour Fair of 1885. "Hamburger" Charlie decided to flatten a meatball and place it amongst 2 slices of bread.

Hamburg, New York. Frank and Charles Menches ran out of pork for their sausage patty sandwiches at the 1885 Erie County Fair. Evidently, their supplier, reluctant to butcher more hogs in the summer heat, suggested they use beef instead. The brothers fried some up, but detected it to be lacking, added coffee, brown sugar, and other ingredients and christened their creation the "Hamburg Sandwich.” The original formula is featured at Menches Brothers Restaurants in Akron, Ohio.

Athens, Texas. In 1974, The New York Times ran a story claiming that the hamburger was devised at Louis' Lunch in New Haven, CT. But according to the McDonald's hamburger chain, the inventor was an strange food vendor at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. Newspaper columnist, Texas historian, and restaurateur Frank X. Tolbert said that this food marketer was Fletcher Davis. Davis operated a café at 115 Tyler Street on the north side of the courthouse square in Athens, Texas, in the late 1880s. Apparently, Davis had been marketing an unnamed sandwich of ground beef at his lunch counter. In 1904, Davis and his wife Ciddy, with endorsing from local businesses, took their sandwich to the 1904 World's Fair. Fletcher and Ciddy Davis established their invention from "Old Dave's Hamburger Stand." A reference to a New York Tribune article spelt at the time about the fair called a hamburger the introduction of a food vendor on the pike. Tolbert said that Old Dave was Fletcher Davis from Athens. During the 1980s, Dairy. Queen ran a commercial filmed in Athens, naming the town the birthplace of the hamburger. In November 2006, The Texas State Legislature introduced Bill HCR-15, indicating Athens as the "Original Home of the Hamburger."

New Haven, Connecticut. Some believe the first hamburgers were served at Louis' Lunch, a sandwich store in New Haven. The small lunch counter is credited by some with having invented the hamburger when Louis' sandwiched a hamburger amongst 2 pieces of white toast for a busy office worker in 1900. Louis' Lunch fire broils the hamburgers in the original 1898 Bridge & Beach vertical cast iron gas stoves using locally patented steel wire broilers to agree the hamburgers in place while they cook. In 2000, the United States Library of copulation credited Louis' Lunch with making America's first hamburger.
